The reality of Latino Youth in the United States

• Only 50% of the Latino Students graduate from high school. In Oregon the percentages are even lower.

• A Latino Youth that drops-out of High School earns around $6,500 dollars a year.

Three Forces Are Changing Our Nation’s Future

• Inadequate literacy and numeracy skills among large segments of our student and adult populations

• An ongoing shift in the demographic profile of our population, powered by the highest immigration rates in nearly a century

• The continuing evolution of the economy and the nation’s job structure, requiring higher levels of skills from an increasing proportion of workers

Literacy surveys conducted by ETS have represented literacy along scales divided into 5 levels. National and international committees have judged that skills in Levels 3 and higher are needed for participation in modern societies.

Average literacy scores are expected to decline between 1992 and 2030, with an increase in the amount of inequality.

Major Demographic Impacts• Racial/ethnic composition of public school students

changing rapidly in Oregon• Minority population generally less educated with

lower earnings capacity• White educated Baby Boomers begin retiring in 2010• Work force growth will mostly come from minority

population - primarily Hispanic• Federal and state revenue will be negatively

impacted unless minority earnings increase• Ratio of workers to retired persons is decreasing -

putting pressure on retirement plan funding

Page 48: Changing Demographics: Impacts to Oregon and the U.S. Are demographic changes taking place? –Changes in Racial / Ethnicity composition? Richard Bjelland

Demographic Conclusions• U.S./Oregon is rapidly changing from primarily a

majority nation of white non-Hispanic persons to a racially and ethnically diverse population

• Hispanic/Latino and Asian populations are the fastest growing; white only beginning to decrease

• Hispanic/Latino population increases now account for half of U.S. population growth

• Planning and policy decisions in education, work force development, housing, social services, etc. need to anticipate and accommodate these changes
